    Here is Joe's reply

    "I believe the idler arm hits the bracket and depending on the truck there could be some cv intereference with the lower a-arm."


    So i guess this is not true to the VX?

    I'll see if I can shoot some pics tomorrow of the steering at full locks and in between to show you. Maybe I'll even feel adventurous and try for some video. I am pretty much certain nothing touches anything it's not supposed to.

    Tom,
    How much are your differentials dropped, 2 or 2.5 inches?
    Peace.

    J,

    I heard the same thing from Joe (NTE 1.5 inch drop). The only thing that didn't work with the 2 inch drop is the breather tube. You'll have to splice in another section or replace with a longer tube (could possibly just re-route it to get some extra length but I haven't tried). I've not noticed any steering interference issues with a 2 inch drop.

    Zeus,

    I've got a set of crossmember drops sitting in my office collecting dust. PM me if interested. BTW - of course I can relate

    Tom,

    2 inch drop is the optimum to compensate for a 3 inch lift (IMHO). I've thought of trying a 2.5 but don't think it's necessary.
